Researchers have developed a new system to detect hidden misconceptions in student reasoning, even when they arrive at the correct answer. Traditional machine learning classifiers were only moderately successful, but an open-weight reasoning model showed higher detection rates. To address false alarms and improve accuracy, a graduated assessment rubric was introduced that separates answer correctness from method validity, along with a detect-verify-escalate pipeline for diagnostic follow-up.
